Tough game. Defensively, it'll be interesting to see if the defense shows up in the first half and whether the guys can stop the spread offense. Offensively, hopefully something starts clicking there for 'SU. Special teams need much better coverage. On paper, NDSU defensive line should have a good day since UNI's line is so new, but UNI has very good receivers and tightends, a great freshman running back and some very talented guys at QB. Defensively, they've given NDSU all sorts of problems in the past - and force a lot of turnovers. Should be a tough game.

The only thing that has gotten better is the defense, the quarterback play was very suspect against UNI and Kansas. I was also surprised by the play calling. With their big offensive line, you would think that they would run right at the UNI defense but that didn't happen. They tried getting to the outside on a faster team. It just didn't make sense to me.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.-Vincent T. Lombardi
